Correct; Gvanzant, However in the warm water power plant lake that I live nearby, there are two species, the Spotted, and the Blue. And both can run up to 6lbs. The farm raised ones have very white,sweet meat. But here in Texas they are considered a rough fish, and (just like California) and most places were a mistake. I've been researching them and can find very little about how to catch them with a hook. But I did pick up some clues from China... It appears that they will eat about anything and maybe caught(maybe)with a doughbait like one would use for Carp, or small worms/larva/maggots. Nobody fishes for them around here but there is interest... One day I would like to wade Southern California casting a 'Hammer' Tail and hang up with a Halibut....Thankyou and LOL
